[arm-allstar] Feature request

[Doug Crompton]

I actually modified the script again after thinking it. I am attaching a
better updated script. This should work fine. Assuming you are using a
DMK-URI or other FOB where you can pick up bit 5 hang an LED with a 330 ohm
or so resistor in series to ground. It should light when there is an alert.
You can simulate this by doing the following -

echo "test" > /tmp/AUTOSKY/warnings.txt  # to turn it on - alert
echo > /tmp/AUTOSKY/warnings.txt   # To turn it off - no alert

See the script for info on changing bits if required. The script assume the
first node. If you are using a second node you would need to specify it in
the first parameter to the script -   test_alert.sh <node>

Run it in the background after testing  -  test_alert.sh <node> &
Best to copy to /etc/asterisk/local  and run from there if you are changing
anything.
could be called at boot in /etc/rc.local - add line at end.
